Requires online platforms to stop fraudulent ads, protecting consumers from scams and giving them tools to fight back.
This bill would make online platforms responsible for stopping fraudulent ads that take people's money. It would require platforms to check who is advertising and set up systems to find and remove scams quickly. People who lose money to these ads would also get new ways to seek justice.
Today, online platforms often have broad legal protection from liability for ads on their sites, even if those ads are fraudulent. This has led to billions of dollars in consumer losses from scams, with platforms having inconsistent ways to stop them. If this bill becomes law, online platforms would be legally responsible for paid fraudulent ads they display if they don't take reasonable steps to prevent them. They would need to verify advertisers, actively detect scams, and remove them quickly, giving consumers and government agencies new tools to fight fraud.
